This painting represents someone’s walk or ‘trail’ through life. This artworks is made from one line with one start and one end mirroring a person’s life. Each change in colour along the line represents different fazes people go through in people’s lives. I would like this painting to show people that life isn’t just a straight line, that there is always shifts in peoples lives and that it is normal to go through different fazes to find yourself.
